Chapter 152: Chapter 47 Apology_2

Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sight of the pig’s trotter in her hand, but luckily Shen Chi quickly took it to the kitchen.

— It was clear that Niu Lan was sincere in her apology. These days, not every daughter who gets married would bother to buy a pig’s trotter when visiting her parents.

"It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious." Lin Xiaoguai truly didn’t mind—they didn’t do it on purpose, and they sincerely apologized. What was the point of holding a grudge?

When Wu Ermei saw that she wasn’t lying, she relaxed and laughed, "This is just Niu Lan being reckless. Seeing a woman from the Cultural Troupe getting close to her husband, she couldn’t think of anything else." She was giving a brief explanation of the situation.

The two women didn’t stay long and left after sitting for a while.

"What’s the deal with that Niu Lan?" After they left, Lin Xiaoguai asked curiously, "This is a military base after all. Won’t her behavior cause trouble for her husband?"

"Why wouldn’t it?" Shen Chi wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "If it weren’t for his wife, would Yuan Lixing still be just a captain at his age? He’s in his thirties and not without capability."

"Her husband doesn’t care about Niu Lan’s behavior?" Lin Xiaoguai was surprised. Even the most mild-mannered man would have ambition, especially if he had the capability but was hindered by an external factor.

"I think Niu Lan’s behavior is largely Yuan Lixing’s responsibility," Shen Chi said sarcastically. "I’ve heard that Niu Lan and her father have both saved Yuan Lixing’s life. Her father even died trying to save him. Because of that, he is very tolerant of Niu Lan, no matter how much trouble she causes."

"It seems that Yuan Lixing is loyal and Niu Lan is unreasonable, but I think the root of Niu Lan’s troubles comes from Yuan Lixing himself. First, his indulgence allows Niu Lan to become increasingly uncontrollable, and second..." Shen Chi took the opportunity to express his feelings, "I believe it’s a man’s duty to make his wife feel secure. Yuan Lixing, being good-looking, always has women approaching him. He just feels helpless but never considers that if his attitude were like mine, clear and giving no woman any illusions, they wouldn’t keep throwing themselves at him."

"Niu Lan isn’t very good-looking, and she has only given birth to a daughter. With beautiful women always around Yuan Lixing, how could she feel secure?"

Like Jiang Xiaomei, Niu Lan was also tall and fat, the only redeeming feature being her relatively fair skin. But Jiang Xiaomei was just overweight; she actually had the features of a pretty girl. Niu Lan was not the same; she had a flat face, small eyes, faint eyebrows, and a prominent nose, which were all overshadowed by her large mouth. One could imagine, even if she lost weight, she wouldn’t be considered beautiful.

"With Niu Lan making such a fuss today, don’t those women take heed?" Lin Xiaoguai found it somewhat unrealistic. Nowadays, women generally tended to be more reserved, especially in a military setting.

"It’s not that those women aren’t cautious; it’s that Niu Lan has become a bit obsessed," Shen Chi explained with a shake of his head and a sigh. "Many women actually don’t want to get involved with Yuan Lixing; they just speak to him more because he’s good-looking, wanting some closeness. After all, everyone has a desire for beauty. But because of Yuan Lixing’s indulgence, Niu Lan now attacks any woman who gets close to him."

Lin Xiaoguai was slightly shocked. She even wondered if Yuan Lixing was deliberately indulging Niu Lan, hoping she would cause a huge trouble that would naturally lead to severing ties with this deeply indebted wife.

Thinking further made her feel that her thoughts were too sinister. People of this era should be more simple-hearted, right?

Hearing Lin Xiaoguai’s doubts, Shen Chi paused and stroked his chin, saying, "Actually, that might be possible."

Although he said that, he wasn’t very sure. If Yuan Lixing really was that scheming, he wouldn’t have ended up marrying such a wife in the first place.

Lin Xiaoguai was shocked. "Really?" She couldn’t believe such things could happen even now.

"Why do I feel like you seem quite excited?" Shen Chi looked at her suspiciously.

"Who me?" Lin Xiaoguai stuck out her tongue. Should she admit that she had inadvertently treated this situation like a soap opera?

Her delicate features, although she was already a married woman, made her childlike gestures of coquetry seem perfectly natural, her eyes twinkling with sprightly youthful charm, which made Shen Chi’s heart skip a beat inadvertently.

He reached out to stroke her hair and kissed her chin, saying, "Are you hungry? You got hurt today, so I’ll cook."

Lin Xiaoguai was startled by his sudden tenderness, a blush creeping up her face. She pursed her lips to hide her shyness and said softly, "Then I’ll leave it to you."

Seeing her stubbornness, Shen Chi raised an eyebrow with a teasing smile, quickly kissed her lips, then stood up and headed to the kitchen, leaving Lin Xiaoguai with a face flushed with embarrassment and nowhere to vent her frustration.

Shen Chi’s cooking skills were quite average; he even burnt the Chinese white cabbage. But no one complained about his cooking except Yaya, who grumbled that it wasn’t as good as Auntie’s. Nonetheless, the meal was harmonious.

There was nothing seriously wrong with Lin Xiaoguai, so Shen Chi naturally couldn’t keep staying at home. After washing the dishes and tidying up the table, he had to return to the military base.

"If there’s any work involving water, leave it until I’m back. The same goes for dinner; wait for me to cook, don’t aggravate your injury." After speaking, Shen Chi looked down at Yaya, "Yaya, take good care of Auntie, and make sure she rests. Understand?"

"Understood." Yaya answered energetically.

Lin Xiaoguai rolled her eyes at him, "Do you really think I’m a three-year-old?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (qidian.com) with your recommendation or monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
